Yellow Veil Pictures and 1091 Media’s The Orchard have unveiled a new poster for the upcoming cosmic horror Starfish, featuring Virginia Gardner (Halloween 2018, Marvel’s The Runaways) curled up with a load of tapes, waiting for the end of the world. Award-winning comic book artist Cameron Stewart created the dreamy piece of artwork.
Gardner stars as Aubrey, a young woman suffering from the death of a close friend. When a mysterious signal from an unknown dimension summons the end of days, it appears as if only Aubrey is left on earth. Trapped in the apartment of her recently a deceased best friend, the only clue she has is a single cassette left behind after her friends death, labeled: “THIS MIXTAPE WILL SAVE THE WORLD.”
Thrust into a mystery orchestrated by her friend and stricken with grief, Aubrey begins to piece the clues together, uncovering a series of tapes all with pieces of the mystery signal. Along the way, progress is impeded when monstrous creatures begin to overrun the world and enclose in on her. Aubrey is forced to fight off the encroaching creatures and move beyond her own crippling grief in order to find the remaining tapes. But will completing the signal save the world?
Director A.T. White (part of the popular UK band Ghostlight) composed the captivating score, while the film’s soundtrack features songs from Sigur Rós, Sparklehorse, Why? and more, “creating a unique audio landscape that matches Starfish‘s apocalyptic world.”
Starfish arrives on Digital and VOD release on May 28, 2019.
